Negative Ion

About Minus Ion (Negative Ion) Technology
Our body generates Positive Ions as we absorb Negative Ions (Minus Ions) into our system; this gives us balance. In Japan they have concluded that electricity, machinery, and human beings all compete for Minus Ions. It is believed that a low level of Minus Ion intake can cause an inbalance and may be the reason that some people have stress, nervousness and discomfort.

According to the Journal of Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicinee, negative ion exposure appeared associated with feeling better about self, less sensitive, and more responsive or innervated (energized).

Besides, negative ions also have been shown to help lift mood, alleviate depression and seasonal affective disorder (winter depression or SAD). There is even a patent by a prominent researcher and institution for the treatment of depression with negative ions.

Natural -ve Ion
High levels of negative ions are found at the beach, in the mountains, in the country, in pine forests, near waterfalls, and many other places that people like to be -- all the places that we feel good after we visit them.

The evaporation of water can produce a moderate amount negative ions in the air; the small positive charges are left behind in the water.

Waterfall or high in the moutain are the places that thousands of negative ions occur. They create an effect on human biochemistry.

Technically Speaking:
Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature in different ways. One way is when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, or water to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us the most.


* Negative ions can have a positive effect on people.
* But positive ions can have a negative effect on people.


* An atom that has one of its normal orbiting electrons removed is called a positive ion. (Doesn't "positive" imply that something has been added?)
* But an atom that has an extra electron added is called a negative ion. (Doesn't "negative" imply that something has been removed?)

In 2004 Olympics, Most Japan and Korean Athletes were wearing negative ion brace and negative ion necklace for good blood circulation and for mental health.
